Where are we again?

I'm picking up where I left off.

We go outside to workout in Houston and its hot, I mean way too hot for New Englanders. We exercise a bit, I get close to 20 thorns in my feet for running around barefoot, Peanut gets a cutoff shirt tan, and Adam gets...winded? I dunno.

We leave Houston and drive 2 hrs to Austin, Texas because we hear 6th Street in downtown Austin makes Bourbon Street look like an appetizer, they caught our attention a wee bit. We get the hook up at a Hilton, check in, and take a cab to an eatery downtown (which I might add was a major rip-off because our cab ride home was half the cost, the cab driver asked us if we wanted to go the fast way or the slow way, we obviously replied the fast way, he must of had dyslexia), have a few drinks, and then head to a house party (I thought now that I graduated college I was done with these, I guess what's one more).

So the Koreans...they drank heavily. We watched them do countless, actually 10 shots is what we counted one kid take (champion btw) of FeeSue (Thor I'm sorry for the spelling). Which is alcoholic potion that makes you think your invisible to the effects of alcohol because it does not taste like your drinking liquor, I've seen multiple go down by this stuff, we stick to about 4 shots of this and 1 of Crown that made us all cringe. We head downtown and then whatayaknow. The kids we are with get into a fight within maybe 1 minute of us getting out of the car. We aren't involved so we stand to the side, watch them throw bows in the street, and jot down notes in my phone for the blog.

We evade arrest and enter a bar. First order of business, bathroom. Peanut and I approach the urinals and realize we are staring directly into a two-way window onto the dance floor...just imagine the commentary this provokes while peeing.

We say goodbyes to Thor in the streets of Austin and take a cab back. Adam falls asleep while Peanut and I talk to our driver about god knows what (taxi cab confessions stuff). We get back and Peanut and I aren't ready to go to bed, Adam is, he's sleeping its 2:30AM and we are supposed to be leaving at 7:00AM (HAHAHA NOT HAPPENING). We're hungry naturally and head down to the front desk. We chat up the gay man working behind the desk and end up eating our room service at the desk with him. We talk about all sorts of things. Guess what? He doesn't know where Connecticut is either. Fuck these people. Oh yea in the midst of our drunken rambling I recall that Peanut calls the gay hotel employee gorgeous. I started crying, laughing wasn't enough at this moment. Oh and apparently we had a noise complaint...woops.

He wake up @ 9:30AM after 10 snooze battles and feel all chipper and ready to drive for the next 13hrs. Just kidding.

We leave Austin and actually see elevation in the landscape for the first time in 3 days other than large termite mounds and piles of maneur. The drive over to New Mexico was interesting to say the least, speed limits of 70 and 75mph, desolate highways (I'm talking looking at grass and fields to the horizon on either side of the car), almost no turning of the steering wheel (the one turn there was Peanut almost missed), driving through a dust storm, hitting 2000 miles on the mini, Peanut and I entertain ourselves up front by balancing one penny on each finger tip while having our hands out the window and doing tricks with our hands (we're silly/delirious we know) and finally gassing up at random gas station in the middle of Texas where we bumped into a couple girls from UCONN who just graduated and were on a road trip and had almost identical route plans as us. We pull over to watch the sunset in the New Mexican desert, it was beautiful.

Things we've learned:
1. Peanut should not be allowed to use the camcorder. He films everything and nothing, usually with the zoom fully out so the video is so shaky you would think he was sitting on a block of ice bare ass. The best part of this is that he is laughing the whole time because he knows Adam has to edit all of this bullshit video he is taking. I watch Adam from the rear view mirror, he doesn't look amused, but that makes it more funny.
2. Roswell sucks. Don't go there unless you want to be disappointed. We pulled over and talked to some cows in the desert while looking for this so called "Bottomless Lake". It looked like a puddle. We see airplanes not UFO's but call them UFO's to humor ourselves for driving 10hrs to get there. We just see a few aliens walking the streets. That was about it.
3. Terms used for being drunk: Smashed Potatoes, Sour Cream and Dunions, Dunzo Washington, Dunz and Roses, Endasauras. Thank Peanut for that.
4. Updating facebook/texting/or in Peanuts case giving a freaking work presentation or writing an essay or something along those lines today with his little blackberry stylette is pretty goddam dangerous.
5. Went back in time another hour.
6. It's hotter in New Mexico.
7. Peanut's muscles look big even when he sleeps.
8. There is such a thing a windmill farms.
9. Bulls have big balls.

We're at a Double Tree in downtown Alburqurque, New Mexico. Early start tomorrow. 7AM, hahahaha. Heading to the Grand Canyon, I guess it's a pretty big hole.

PS: Peanut is filming nothing in the room right now, ie: Adam sleeping, the floor, outside at the parking lot, the floor, the floor, the tv, and now back to Adam as Peanut plays with his ear, all the while snickering. Perfect example.
